Exit Survey
 
 
Welcome
This survey is aimed at collecting your opinion on a specific project that you have participated in. The survey will run through a number of questions about a past project, covering -

1) The environmental variables (dates, and project parameters)
2) Project documentation (PMI standard requirements and recommendations)
3) Project control factors. (OPM3/CMMI organizational control capability assessment)

Please note that your personal and project details are not recorded into the academic data, and that this survey is simply a tool to establish a statistical connection between the PMI documentation recommendations and OPM3/CMMI project control criteria.

There are 45 questions, but they are very quick and intuitive to answer, so it should all be done in a snap!

Thanks for your time.
